After buying a mask, you should be able to keep it offline until you pass a paycheck. So pretty much the same system for despawning cars, but for masks. Just saying it's annoying crashing a few minutes after buying a mask, if you're not a donator of course. This is completely irrelevant to donators and is merely a way to keep people from wasting money because they crashed. This can also be used on spraycans for non-official factions. So if they crash, they don't have to ask for another until they log off and pass a paycheck offline.

I myself have crashed shortly after purchasing a mask before and after some time the amount of money you waste on reacquiring them due to this becomes ridiculous. I completely agree with this suggestion, I can't see this change coming with any negative impact.

After all we have a unique MASK_ID so I'm all for it. As long as it isn't abused for ooc reasons sure. There another topic which this could relate to. But keeping it after purchasing doesn't seem like s bad idea.

Yes please... I have internet issues at certain times of the day. Sometimes my net randomly spikes for a moment, and I crash then everything is fine after. But the mask is gone. So annoying to have to go to a 24/7 and shell out 5k for another mask after a crash...

Supporting this. Many times I've crashed while wearing an OOC mask and its revealed my identity which I wasn't wanting and if it stayed then my identity would still be concealed. It also saves money for having to re-buy these every crash or server restart.
